Re: SuperPNG broken these days, any alternatives?
I once used a fill layer in the Photodhop with opacity: 6% and Fill: 4% . It crates an alpha value of 1 in 0-255 scale instead of pure black. Renderers usually just clip such a small value on its own or it's getting eaten of by texture compression I am not sure but never seen an issue in game. In Afinity Photo it had been… -
Re: Answered: Scratched text
The steps required: CTRL+LMB on the layer mask which contains the scratches you wish to use. This will select the layer's opacity as a selection in Photoshop. Select the text layer. Click the layer mask button at the bottom of the layer stack to create a layer mask for that text document from the current active selection… -
Re: Blender, Normal Mapping Artifacts, SuperPNG
Hey, welcome to Polycount! How exactly was the normal map created? Was it baked from geometry, or converted from a bitmap? What software was used to make it? This looks like a tangent-space normal map, not an object-space map, so I would disregard any preview using object space. Looks like you are viewing this inside… -
Re: Where can I edit multiple PBR textures at same time?
There is no software where you could do it easy and simple. If you mean re-compositing textures by moving something. Substance painter - easy working with multiple channels at once but you can't move anything precisely say 32 pixels right . But if you do it in twice of target resolution it still could be a choice. I am… -
Re: 2d Sprite Making - help
Yep like arrangemonk hinted at you're using a 1 bit technique meaning your transparency will either be on or off, no blending. You can't have a purple pixel and expect it to be partially transparent. If you sample the pixels around the edges of your image they are not exactly your transparent color. To fix this you need to… -
Re: ZBrush creating artifacts/noise in areas of the mesh that I'm not working on
I would definitely say layers are to blame. ZB layers are notoriously broken, and have been for years. The fact that you are transposing on a recording layer certainly wouldn't be helping. Couldn't you delete/bake your layers, do your transposing, and then continue detailng on a new layer? Or have you created a layer… -
Re: Using displacement map in zbrush and baking it in to mesh?
Also, ZB layers are very powerful and useful. You can dupe the mesh, apply disp, export as obj at highest level, add a layer to original, import the obj with the layer active. Now you will have levels and a layer with just the disp detail that you can toggle on or tweak the layer strength or just bake the layer. -
Re: Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
The main drawback of asset packs and material libraries is that they cover too small square area like 2x2 m and designed for tiny texel size. Those materials are just flat snapshots, no way to change details distribution or re-composite easily . Also you lose a way to do any conscious art selection what key things to show… -
How to use Bump Offset with Texture Packed Data?
I've been struggling hours with a problem on hooking up bump offset using texture packing. I am texture packing Roughness, Metallic, AO, and Height into the corresponding RMAH texture parameter and want to use the alpha channel as the height data. The problem is I cannot simply just use the same texture sample and loop… -
Re: Crystal Monster
Thanks so much everyone! Havent had my computer handy the last week or so because moving is an awful process, haha. I definitely agree with and appreciate the crits. If I get some time, I'd like to revisit the teeth/mouth area to add drool and translucency as well as another layer/ligament connection-thing at the corner of…
